Biostatistics & Bioinformatics Shared Resource


The University of Colorado Cancer Center Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Shared Resource (BBSR) provides state-of-the-art experimental design and data analysis support for members of the University of Colorado Cancer Center.

Expertise represented in the BBSR includes clinical trial design and analysis, survival, longitudinal and missing data analysis, power and sample size analysis, protocol development and review, genomic and proteomic experimental design, gene expression, genome-wide copy number and shRNA analysis, biomarker discovery, trajectory clustering, the identification of transcription control modules, as well as database creation and maintenance.

Services:

  • Human subjects research study design, sample size and power analysis, protocol and grant development
  • Vertebrate animal research study design, sample size and power analysis, protocol and grant development
  • Data analysis with manuscript and presentation development
  • Collaborative data modeling and analysis
  • Protocol review, protocol quality assurance and safety and DSMB
  • The BBSR provides services at a greatly reduced rate for Cancer Center members. Therefore, we ask Cancer Center member investigators to include funding for biostatistics and bioinformatics support on grants and contracts that BBSR staff has been involved in, and to include BBSR staff as authors on publications.

    How to Use the Core:

    Your study's initial design and data collection strongly affect its analysis and interpretation. Please involve us during the design phase to we can help make sure your project is successful. Our work is usually done as part of protocol development for clinical trials or during project design for other cancer-related research.

    To get started:

  • Please submit a project registration form for your project:
  • Bioinformatics Project Registration
  • Biostatistics Project Registration
  • Once you submit your form, you will meet with one of our Core biostatisticians or bioinformaticians to present your hypothesis and goals.
  • We will help you put together a basic scope of work and general timeline and identify key collaborators to include.
  • We will work with you throughout your project.
  • If you have questions, please contact Dexiang Gao​, co-director (biostatistics) or Ken Jones, co-director (bioinformatics).
